Export Ring Design

On the Mining | Ring Design tab, in the Import/Export group, click Export Ring Design to convert a Ring Design to a Drillhole Database (DHDB) format.

The rings in the Ring Database are converted as holes in the Output Drillhole Database. Ring diameters and charging parameters are written to the holes in the Collar file of the database.

Input

Ring Database

Double-click (or click on the Select icon) to select the name of the Ring Database (*.MMRDF, *.RDF) file you want to convert to a drillhole database.

A new .MMRDF Ring Database format replaces the .RDF database format used in previous versions. The new .MMRDF database format provides superior data storage.

Note that legacy .RDF ring databases opened in Micromine 2020 are automatically converted to the new format. These legacy database files are preserved in the project as .BAK backup files.

Output

Drillhole Database

Enter (or double-click to select) the name of a drillhole database. If you select an existing database you will be prompted to overwrite the database or cancel.

You can also press F5 to create a new drillhole database.

Generate an Interval file for Charged holes

Select this option to write charge, stemming, and deck intervals to an Interval file.
